Whipworms

I dropped off a fecal sample from Oliver at the vet today and found out that he has whipworms. He had no symptoms whatsoever- this is just part of his new puppy checkup so I wasn't even sure it was necessary.

I guess its easily treated, but the lesson is- don't skip the stool check!

1. Pix of Oliver

This week was his first snow, so he's officially a cheesehead.

2. He's beautiful!

I'll bet he loves the snow (my dogs do and they were born in southern CA) :-).
